The metro station ( underground) is literally 20 feet from the main entrance of the hotel, and takes you to the nearest station to most of the attractions, costs 1 euro 50 cents for 100 minutes ( plenty of time to go from any station ), the hotel is only a 15 minute walk ( max) from the colluseum, roman forum and circus maximus. From the colluseum you can get the HOP ON - HOP OFF bus, this goes around in a circle covering all the attraction and sights, they supply FREE HEADPHONES to plug in and the commentary is very accurate, tells you which stops are best for what attraction. you cen get off and on as often as you like for the duration of your ticket, saves a lot of walking.

I had reserved the hotel based on the positive reviews online and central location for our trip to Rome. Also, being a known brand I thought I knew what to expect, however the staff proved me wrong.
Me and my wife checked in late evening on 5/12/2016 for our 4 night stay till 5/16/2016. While checking-in the guy at the front desk told us the breakfast was included. I also requested an adapter, for which I was told there was a cash deposit of 20 euros and could not be paid with a credit card. Given it was late and we were tired, I did not argue and handed a 20 euro bill for the adapter and headed to the room. The room was small but clean and I had no reason to complain.
My first surprise was next morning when we headed down for breakfast. There was a lady at the door who asked me for a "breakfast coupon". When I said I did not have one, she replied 3 euros per person. Since it was 3 euros we did not wish to argue and went ahead with the breakfast, giving the benefit of doubt to the guy who checked us in. The best was yet to come.
On the day we were checking out I took the adapter back to the front desk expecting to get the 20 euros back. There was a different guy at the front desk who took the adapter and handed me a 10 euro bill. I was surprised and mention that I had paid 20 euros for deposit. He said they always take 10 euros and showed me the hand written note against my room number for 10 euros. For a moment, I thought since it had been 4 days, perhaps I had forgotten and had actually paid 10 euros. I asked my wife and she agreed that we had paid 20 euros. When I asked, the guy at the front desk said he could not do anything since he was not there when we check-in.
If you plan to stay a the hotel please get some form of a receipt paying a deposit for anything. Not sure how many of the staff are in on it,but there are definitely some that are running a scam where they take advantage of tourists by pocketing part of the deposit.

BEST WESTERN Hotel PresidentDecent 3 star hotel

Best Western President Hotel had decent price and the reason for picking this was Best Western brand, decent reviews, 4 star hotel near to the metro station.

Expectation - I had planned a visit to Rome during a long weekend and all hotels were pretty expensive. Hence, I was looking for a decent 4 star hotel and not far from the city center. Best Western President Hotel had decent price and the reason for picking this was Best Western brand, decent reviews, 4 star hotel near to the metro station.
Location - The hotel's location is quite good. Not exactly in the city center but close to the city center and its situated right on top of the Manzoni metro station. When you get out of the metro station, you are right at the hotel. The Roma Termini railway station (Rome's main train station) is mere 2 stops from the hotel by the metro. Also, the hotel is just 10 min walk to the Basilica di San Giovanni and Colosseum. Also this side of the city was much peaceful. Not a lot of restaurants neaby but I was pretty satisfied by the location.
The Hotel - The hotel is nice and clean. Lobby is average, pretty ordinary reception as well. Check-in was smooth, although the guy at the reception didn't provide any information about Rome, places to visit, neither a city map. They did have a map, which I myself took. They have 2 tiny elevators but they were neat and clean. The interior of the hallways were fine too. There was a vending machine next to the elevators for a quick snack or a drink which was cheap. The vending machine accepts bills and coins only, no card. I had booked an economy room, as with rest of the Europe, the room sizes are small, the economy room with a double bed (french bed) was fine in size. A little bigger wouldnt have hurt, the bed covered most of the area in the room although there was enough space to walk around on all 3 sides of the bed. Room was well nicely made and clean. Bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. 2 side tables, and a table and wooden chair, 32 inch LCD tv, a fridge beneath it with few items, not a lot, in the mini bar. Mini bar was slightly lesser expensive than what I have seen in other hotels. Maximum 4 euro for the drinks. There were enough shelves in the tv unit as well to place your stuff. Apart from this, a full size cupboard along with a safe. I was easily able to put all my stuff inside. The bathroom was also fine, neat and clean, most Italian hotels have a bidet which I didn't use, and it occupies some space. They did have shampoo, shower gel, soap and body cream. I had no issue with the heater and air-conditioning and it worked fine for me.
Now for some negatives of the room - Surprisingly no iron and iron table. There was no bathroom slippers as well although I would expect it in a 5 star than a 4 star hotel. No coffee machine but a kettle was there along with coffee/tea sachets which I did not use. One weird thing is that they don't provide you with glass cups, instead there are plastic disposable cups in the bathroom. I could easily hear if someone was in front of my door and talking, may be the walls are a bit thin and the rooms are not that sound proof. The view from my room window was not really great. All I could see were various apartment and homes of the people. But it was peaceful as my room was facing opposite to the main road where the hotel is situated.
Restaurant, Bar and Breakfast - The breakfast was supposed to be included in my booking. So, one day there was no one at the restaurant reception and I had the breakfast. The breakfast was ordinary and typical to a European breakfast, nothing special to rave about. Scrambled eggs, bacon, 3 types of cheese, a few type of sliced cold meat, breads, cornflakes, fruits, croissants, muffin, cake, fruits, rice (which looked seriously stale), and pinto beans (they looked yucky as well). A couple of variety of juice, orange, annanas (pineapple), and a few type of coffee (cappucino was good) and tea. However, next day when I went for breakfast, there was a lady sitting in front of the restaurant and said breakfast was not included in my booking, but since it was only for 3 euros I did not argue, but yes as one another reviewer has said, the hotel staff lies. They do have a bar which I did not use neither I had lunch or dinner there, so I cannot comment on the food.
However for a 4 star, they do not have a room service which is surprising and weird.
Conclusion - It's a decent hotel which is not very expensive yet has nice and decent rooms and situated at a nice quiet location right above the Manzoni metro station. Definitely not a 4 star and more like a 3 star. They do not have a room service or an iron in rooms. Would I stay there again - may be and may be not if I can find some other hotel with more facilities and a good location at the same price.

When I checked in they placed me in room 101. It was a single and it was probably one of the worst rooms I have ever been in. See photos. I went to the desk and told them o could not stay in this room. They moved me to the 7th floor single with a balcony and it was more updated and cleaner. I was overall not impressed with this hotel, but I did like the Margherita pizza I had in the bar upon check in. The hotel staff was nice and accommodated complaints and made it better. I would not stay here again because it is in need to updating and the location was scary for me.

The beds were comfortable and there was room to walk around and room for all of our suitcases. Would stay here again when in Rome! Be sure to check out the little vending room around the corner, and the lovely deli and grocery nearby!

I had booked a quad room for my family, but i think what they gave me was a standard room by stuffing four beds into a small space, and there was hardly any space to walk around or unpack. I felt cheated for that.
The bathroom is descent, and they have a huge wardrobe in the room. There are no eateries in the vicinity of the hotel, and you have to walk at least 10 to 15 minutes to find one.

This is a mixed review in that our experience was both good and bad bearing in mind that this review is on a 4 star hotel not B&B.On arrival we discovered that they had got our reservation wrong in terms of Twin/Double Room despite us having received the correct confirmation in writing before our arrival date..It was suggested that we would be moved to another room the following day.I objected and in fairness adjustments were made within an hour.
The toilet did not flush properly and the room safe was not working.Having brought these faults to the attention of the staff,which in fairness were rectified fairly promptly, we then discovered that tea /coffee making facilities included polystyrene cups and a plastic stirrer instead of a spoon.
Other faults were the room fridge not working.The noise from the hotel plumbing system was extremely loud and annoying and there is a lack of facilities in the bathroom to place toiletries. Ours ended up on the bathroom floor in our toilet bags.
We then went to the bar for a lunchtime snack and were given a plate which had not been washed properly.By this time we were so embarrased by our list of complaints that we didn't bring some of the faults to the attention of staff on the basis that we might be branded as trouble makers.
There were plus points as well in that the Breakfasts were very good and the staff very friendly.The hotel was also in a good location for the Metro system into the centre of Rome and within walking distance of some of the ancient ruins.
Bearing in mind the 4 star rating we were disappointed with the hotel especially as with a little effort and perhaps better training plus management spending just a little more in upgrading the room facilities our experience could have been so much better.

This hotel is perfect for travelers who want to enjoy the Coliseum and also have easy access to the subway system. This hotel has a spectacular location! Turn the corner and you are on your way to both the Coliseum and the Victor Emmanuel Monument. The rooms are modern, clean and sport lots of marble. The subway station is right outside and gives any traveler easy access to all of Rome's ancient sites!

Great location. A few blocks from the Colosseum and just a cross a metro and tramp station in which you can catch a train to anywhere. Staff was great and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The only flaw was the rather small room for a family of 4 but we managed of course.

Perfect location for short stay in Rome and connections to Termini. We checked in very late and were received well at reception and with everything organised which with a young family after travel was much appreciated. Rooms were comfortable and bathroom was clean and tidy. We did not have breakfast due to an early departure although this was provided.

Have to say this was a very nice hotel and quite affordable for stay in Rome.
When we arrived in Rome we opted to take a cab from the train station to the hotel - what a mistake this hotel is right on the subway line and so convenient to get to.

When we arrived in Rome we opted to take a cab from the train station to the hotel - what a mistake this hotel is right on the subway line and so convenient to get to.
Its not much to look at on the outside but inside is quite nice. Nice bar area. Breakfast restaurant. Clean lobby. Staff was very efficient. Check in was great - staff at the desk was very clear gave us very good instructions on our stay in Rome and offered to give us touristic options to sight see the city which was helpful. They were not pushy at all. Breakfast was 3 Euros. I see some travellers complained it was supposed to be part of their package. I dont know the website is not clearly listed but 3 Euros I won't complain. It was a very nice breakfast lots of choices to start the day off great.
Room was so clean after staying in Venice earlier on my trip in a very shading looking hotel this was so nice. Comparing it to other hotels i have travelled around the world its much better than a 3 star. Rooms very spacious. Bathroom clean new fixtures very modern. (note I am not a fan of a bidet right near where you hang bath towels but i found that all over Europe). Room had a fridge to keep our items. Closet was huge to place all our luggage. Extra blankets pillows were available. Nice touch various pillows for your sleep preference - firm, soft etc.
2 elevators - i think 5 floors. so if you needed to take the stairs its not too bad. The hotel is on the main street so you will hear cars and traffic in the night but it was fine nothing too loud for us.
Tv was good with various channels. The location as i said was very convenient as it was on the subway line. Going site seeing was good - either bus or subway car nothing too more than 1/2 hour mind you this was August so i dont know if its better or worst at a later time.
Down the street are several pizza and pasta shops. Quick cheap eats around 5 Euros. An indian convenience store with water and fruit was very helpful. A Japanese buffet was also down the street but i think was very pricey did not try.
Hotel had a business centre free wifi in all the rooms. Business centre had a printer so we easily printed tickets and boarding passes which was free.
Overall I really liked this hotel and especially for the price. Staff was friendly. Cleaners were good. Only one day our door key did not work but staff was helpful in getting that straightened out. I would recommend this hotel again.
Downside There was pool or other entertainment.

My friends and I decided to come into Rome a day early. The hotel was able to take us for one night at the last minute..Nice hotel very close to the Colosseum and the Metro.
I mention the Metro because you can get anywhere you want to go with ease and a 24 hour ticket is only 7 euro. It is the best way to get around Rome and see all the sites in my opinion.

Very clean and convenient hotel centrally situated. Very good selection for breakfast.
However on checking out we were charged 16 euros for a bar bill. We had paid in cash after all meals and drinks there. My partner paid as did not want a dispute to spoil the end of the trip. We noticed that a couple next to us were questioning a bill saying they had paid!
Not sure if this was a scam or just incompetence, but was a sour note on what was otherwise a very enjoyable trip.

The dining room had private dinners both nights we were there but the bar has light fare. The breakfast was typical of what you would expect in a very international hotel.

Excellent customer service, which I somehow did not find easy in Italy.
I changed my room twice for the view and the staff was not perturbed with it, in fact they were more than happy to help.
The breakfast was my favorite part as you can see the staff smiling, energetic, and having fun while proactively tending to coffee and other requests.
Great hotel!
